Oversize message

Hi guys.

Got another thing I can't seem to sort out.

I'm getting the following in the hobbitclient.log:
2008-08-18 14:18:32 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout
2008-08-18 14:18:32 Bad data in channel, skipping it
2008-08-18 14:18:32 Got over-size message, truncating at 528383 bytes
(max: 524288)
2008-08-18 14:18:32 Dropping (more) garbled data
2008-08-18 14:18:32 Dropping (more) garbled data
2008-08-18 14:18:32 Failed to get a message, terminating

This I think is related to the amount of data in the process list,
being more than 512k(?) which is the default.

I have changed hobbitserver.cfg with the following entries:
MAXMSG_STATUS="1048576"
MAXMSG_CLIENT="1048576"
MAXMSG_DATA="1048576"
MAXMSG_NOTES="1048576"

and I can't find other references in the man file to increase message
and data size.

I'm running hobbit 4.2.0 server on centos 5, and the same version
client on 8 servers running AIX5.3.
The other servers are fine, and the only difference is the amount of
data in the process list.
Am I missing something?
